his job as a coal worker, that's getting a lot of attention this morning. andrea mitchell has more on that. good morning. >> good morning, matt. it was that conversation, a round table here in west virginia, when the unemployed coal worker pressed clinton hard on comments she'd made about the coal industry. remarks, she said, that didn't accurately reflect her efforts to help the area hit hard by job losses. >> reporter: while looking for mine support in trump-friendly coal country, hillary clinton in a candid moment on the campaign trail -- >> i do feel a little bit sad and sorry i gave folks the reason or excuse to be so upset with me. that is not what i intended at all. >> reporter: the democratic front runner apologizing to a father of three, bo copley, who recently lost his job at a coal company. >> unfortunately, my circumstan circumstance,

as pleasant as what everyone else's is. >> reporter: fighting back tears as he confronted clinton about comments she'd made earlier this year at an ohio town hall. >> we're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business. >> i just want to know how you can say you're going to put a lot of coal miners out of jobs, and then come in here and tell us how you're going to be our friend. >> i have been talking about helping coal country for a very long time. >> reporter: clinton says her remarks were taken out of context, as she touted the $30 billion plan she had announced last year to help the struggling coal community. >> what i was saying is that the way things are going now, we will continue to lose jobs. i didn't mean we were going to do it. what i said was, that is going to happen unless we take action to try to help and prevent it. >> clinton went on to say that she knows she faces an uphill battle with the voter

region. as for copley, who is a republican, he says he doesn't know who he'll vote for, but that he does not feel swayed by her apology. interesting and candid moment. unusual moment on the campaign trail. >> certainly is. andrea, thanks very much. mike murphy, adviser to the jeb bush campaign and now an nbc news political analyst. mike, good morning to you. let's start on the gop side. indiana is important because of the calendar but it is a microcosm, isn't it, of the gop. you have conservatives, blue collar americans. is that why it counts? >> every kind of republican is there. theoretically, if cruz is going to stop trump, midwestern state like that is not trump's home region. it's more open field playing ground. he should be able to do it. if the polling is right, and it probably is, trump will have a good night. it's not only delegates now. it's the phycology. trump is a steam rolling going on, which could be the p

bli -- obituary, but why didn't the stop trump movement get off the ground? >> trump is selling what the grievance half of the party want. the big donors don't like trump but they don't love cruz either. give me $3 million to switch from one unpopular outcome to another hasn't been a good pitch. >> let's switch over to the democrats for a second. it's tight in indiana. hypothetically, if bernie sanders loses to hillary clinton there tonight, how does he make the argument to anyone that he's anything but hurting the presumptive nominee? >> that's the box he's in. he's captured the hearts and minds but not the super delegates. even with a few more wins, mathematically, she's in the driver's seat. he doesn't have the power, i believe, to be nominated, but he has the power to make her life hell because of his grip of millenials, which is important fo

general election and is hiring battle state ground officials. >> she has to wash the bear without getting the fur wet. push him aside, but don't make an enemy to out of him for the general. >> use an olive branch for his supporters. >> they're fighting for something. i think the clinton campaign better create a fight that doesn't involve her for him. the clinton folks need to move it from anti-clinton on to some policy, something to get his movement something to do, other than blow up the convention with her. >> mike murphy, thank you. >> thank you, mike. appreciate it. breaking news this morning from iraq. defense secretary ash carter announcing an american serviceman has been killed in combat near the northern iraqi city off erbil. the u.s. central command added the serviceman died as a result of enemy fire. last month, secretary carter

alcohol, caffeine before bed, avoiding the blue light of devices before bed. >> no naps. tell someone who hasn't had any sleep all night that they shouldn't get a half hour of sleep during the day. it sounds impossible. >> sounds impossible. one of the parts of the behavioral change is sleep restriction. they do do that. they say, no naps, and you have to go to bed late for a short period of time. it induces sleep depravation early on, but ultimately, it breaks the cycle. you're more tired and you'll sleep more soundly. >> is there a larger concern, that taking the sleep medications for a prolonged period of time cannot be recommended? >> actually, the fda only approves, wants the medications to be taken for about four to five weeks at a time. they can be associated with serious adverse effects. cognitive behavioral therapy, aka, non-medication therapy, as well as being non-invasive, is really not associated with very much harm. it's six to eight

say, at some point, you have to let them cry aly bil lbit so th learn to settle themselves. but two months is too early. >> they're still feeding every two hours, so how do you know it's not a cry of hunger? i'm answering the cry. >> when i was little, my mom and dad always let me cry. constantly walked out of their bedroom crying. now i sleep eight hours a night. >> how does that make you feel, dylan? >> poor dylan. >> you have someone you can talk to. >> just had to share that. have you ever called your kids the wrong name? dylan, don't answer this, okay? >> her parents. >> do you mix up the names of siblings? we've all done this. why this happens, it's because our brains categorize people based on a relationship to them. families, friends and

different mental folders. sometimes, we pluck the wrong name from a particular folder. it's definitely true. >> oh, yeah. >> at my baby shower, remember this, i called mike, my husband, matt. that was awkward. >> different folders there. >> apparently not. >> that was mom brain. >> a number of times, my kids put up with all of them. >> i say the dog's name sometimes. i mean luke! >> we're tired. anywhere wear contact lenses? you, you, okay. check this out. soon, those contacts could be doing a lot more than just improving your vision. they could be recording everything you see. sony has filed a patent for smart contact lenses. they would snap a photo when you blink your eye. then you'd be able to send the photo to a wireless device like a smartphone or tablet. sony is not alone. google is also working on similar

theme of oddness and absurdity in the films he makes. it was also moving. >> and thought provoking. as i try to explain it, it takes place in a society where if you are not coupled up, you will be -- have 45 days to live in this hotel and find a match or you'll be turned into an animal. >> it's illegal to be single, i suppose. it's something of a distinguishing stigma. if you were in ireland and single, people would have thought you had a disease. we are very much a culture of people that are obsessed with finding a couple and a match. i think it's natural, as well. it's human instinct, you want to share your life with someone. this takes it to another level. >> the absurd level. part of what you do is go into the forest and shoot loaners th

hotel, where you're sent for 45 days to find a match if you are single. then there are the people who are resistant against that society, and they live in the forest on their own. it's a strange film to try and captivate in a few words. >> the other thing that is weird about it -- and you explained it well in the clip -- your guy wants to be a lobster. it's not the first animal i would have chosen. >> me neither, no. bottom feeding crustacean wouldn't have been my choice. >> if you had to be turn sboed an animal -- >> i think a bird of flight, as opposed to a penguin, grounded bird. maybe a falcon. >> we imagined what it might look like. >> wow. >> that makes some sense. >> just like in my dreams. exactly. you've been invading my sleep again, i see. >> we do that. you were at the met gala last night. >> yeah. >> how was that? >> it was not a casual affair. it was very high gy
